707th played so far Genre: Role-Playing Platform: NES Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Chunsoft Publisher: Enix/Nintendo The Dragon Quest series (known as Dragon Warrior in its early English installments, but we’ll go by the proper name here) has three entries on the list – none of which I have played so far. In fact, I […]

594th played so far Genre: Platform Platform: NES Year of Release: 1990 Developer: Rare Publisher: Nintendo/Sega For some reason, I kept confusing this game with Marble Madness for a long time. It doesn’t make any sense, none of it really matches, but the isometric perspective is similar and I haven’t looked much beyond screenshots. I’ll […]

543rd played so far Genre: Sports Platform: NES Year of Release: 1991 Developer: Tecmo Publisher: Tecmo Time for another sports game I don’t know much about! I’ll be watching the Superbowl at some point, but until then most of my knowledge of American football comes from the theory of how it’s meant to work, bits […]

374th played so far Genre: Action/Adventure Platform: NES Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo Wow, it’s been a while since we last played a Legend of Zelda game – nearly 300 games ago, in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords of Adventure. This is some combination of wanting to keep the number okay […]

332nd played so far Genre: Platform Platform: NES Year of Release: 1990 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo So we’re back now to what is unambiguously the third (platform) Mario game. Released nearer to the end of the lifetime of the NES, it became one of the best-selling games ever – the highest grossing non-bundled game in […]

319th played so far Genre: Platform Platform: NES Year of Release: 1988 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo Speaking of old favourites – after Doom last time we now get another old favourite (although I’d dare say more mine than Peter’s this time). It’s the memories of our old NES, as well as the memories of playing […]

302nd played so far Genre: Platform Platform: NES Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo It seems ages since we last played a Mario game, with our limitations on the previous hundred, and our reluctance to do so after having played a lot of them in a short go while borrowing games. It has […]

188th played so far Genre: Platform Platform: NES Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo Some fifteen years ago, I first watched the Captain N TV series. They were, as you can imagine, awesome for the time – here was a hero who used a NES controller to get special powers and who fought […]

51st game played so far Genre: Racing/Driving Platform: NES Year of Release: 1991 Developer: Codemasters Publisher: Camerica After the marathon that was Baldur’s Gate II it’s time for a quick race to the finish (no pun intended). Based on the very successful Micro Machine toys this game started a very lucrative series where the first […]

6th game played so far Genre: Platformer Platform: NES Year of Release: 1985 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo It may seem a little bit odd to cover another Mario already but there must be in excess of 20 different games (this could be an exaggeration) featuring this plumber so it’s a good idea to get a […]
